Dental crowns are manufactured or artificial teeth that are either made of porcelain or ceramic. They are carefully designed to mimic or match the colour and texture of the existing teeth. These are used for restoration purposes when teeth become heavily damaged or decayed. Once they are installed/applied, the damaged tooth would look better and stronger.
Dental crowns can help fix the following dental problems:
- Fractured tooth
- Damaged tooth
- Tooth weakened by decay
- Severely discoloured tooth
- Misshapen tooth
- Dental bridge that needs an anchor
Dental bridges are meant to fix large tooth gaps caused by missing tooth/teeth. Dental bridges are made of an artificial tooth with two porcelain crowns placed on the adjacent teeth. They provide a strong support structure and they reduce slippage and movement inside the mouth. They are also designed to look as similar to your natural or original teeth.
Dental bridges can do the following:
- Replace missing tooth/teeth
- Stabilize uncomfortable dentures
- Provide a strong support structure
- Provide a strong support structure
- Reduce slippage
